VERY COOL! A "dream come true" for me as I've wanted to see this novel on film for many, many years. Haldeman has been one of my favorite sci-fi authors for over 30 years. I read, and still have, the first printing of "The Forever War" in paperback. There have been about 4 re-releases of the book, with various sections added, that weren't in the original book. If one wishes to get the "whole enchilada" look for the version that is "preferred" by Haldeman and has the sections he originally wanted included.

BTW, the Variety synopsis of the novel is WAAAAY to simplistic. It's a lot deeper and if Scott handles it right, should be an excellent flick.

A couple of other "early works" from Haldeman that are worth the read: "Mindbridge" and "All My Sins Remembered".
